Pros

I found Kmart to be family friendly as far as offering time off when needed. They work with their employees to make sure they can be with their families.

Cons

Too many expectations for too little pay. It was my experience that they want the employees to run the store without giving them the proper training or feedback to do a good job.

Pros

The people I worked with were the best reason for staying at Kmart. Management was also understanding of the fact that my employment at Kmart was a second job and they did not make any unreasonable requirements of me.

Cons

Ever since quitting Kmart, I have told everybody I have come in contact with that I never worked so hard in my life for so little pay. I understand that Kmart is a revolving door when it comes to employees, but I would hope that a company would recognize and reward loyal employees by compensating them, but alas, that was not the case.

Pros

Average pay, ability to grow within the company. Pretty thorough yet quick transition when being promoted. Can switch between both Sears and Kmart. The benefits are descent, although they did just put us on a pay freeze. They also through their company match policy for our 401(k) out the window.

Cons

Low budgets, the crummy buildings, resources extremely limited, perceived as a low end place to shop. Really is an uphill battle in this company, as it really will be for any retail giant or not.
